About this property

Traditional Character House in unspoilt Cyprus village, sea views, private pool

The Cobblers (named because this was once the village cobblers house) is a large and spacious traditional village house but with all the modern comforts that a sophisticated traveller requires. FREE WI FI , PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL, SEA VIEWS , new luxury bathroom and UK style plugpoints.
The house is at least 200 years old and built on 3 sides around a private courtyard. The three wings of the house all connect to each other via the courtyard. There are lovely stone paved areas with plants and swimming pool, graced with an ancient olive tree which gives welcome shade in summer.
The Cobblers is the home of fashion designer Marguerite Hannah who has brought her designers vision to the lovely artistic interior, which features personally chosen art and objects which enhance the beautiful peaceful ambience of this special house.
There is a spectacular elevated furnished sun deck where you can enjoy the sea views with a glass of wine at the end of the day.
During the day you can enjoy the private swimming pool which has ample sun beds around the stone patio area around the pool. The outside area is substantial and you can always find a little quiet space around the garden which is filled with lovely Mediterranean plants and flowers in terracotta pots. There are 3 spacious bedrooms, 1 double ,1 family room with double bed and sofa bed and 1 twin. One wing of the house has the twin and family bedrooms which share the family size luxury bathroom with walk in shower. The other double bedroom is located across the courtyard and has its own en suite shower room. The large kitchen has a large cooking area along with a spacious dining area with table and chairs to sit 6 people very comfortably. On the first floor there is a very large double size lounge with a/c separated by an open arch. On one side there is a tv room with DVD player and large video library. You can also connect your own devices by supplied hdmi cable. On the other side is a cosy reading lounge with two large armchairs and wood burning stove for romantic winter evenings. We also have a quiet room with a/c with a collection of books on the ground level.
There is plenty of space on the adjoining land for vehicles. A car is fairly essential to enjoy your stay at the Cobblers and car hire is very reasonable in Cyprus. Very small children would need to be supervised due to the stone steps and terraces which make up the garden.
Maroni is almost equidistant to Larnaca , Limassol and Nicosia, which are all well within 1 hours drive. The Village of Maroni is very traditional and picturesque but it has a supermarket and a lovely coffee shop/bar with an English owner a few steps from the house where you can enjoy a cocktail and light snacks. The fishing village of Zygi is about 10m drive away and has an array of seafood restaurants.
The house is a five minute drive to the local beach which is about a mile away.
The Cobblers is a unique and special house and we are sure you will enjoy your stay.

Peaceful house in great village
We were a family of 6 adults staying for 8 days at Cobblers. Everything was as described, plenty of room for us all to holiday without tripping over each other. Pool was great at the end of a day sightseeing and we loved the view from the terrace! Costas helped with great check in and out. We loved the quiet village and proximity to everything. You must visit Lenias tavern in nearby Psematismenos for great local food. Thank you for a great family holiday!

Far from the madding crowd....
We had a wonderfully relaxing time at The Cobblers. The house is spacious and characterful, set around an attractive courtyard on different levels with a number of seating areas to relax, eat or lie by the pool - the rooftop terrace with its welcome breeze was a favourite spot! Maroni village is quiet and unspoilt, with easy access to a number of beaches, an interesting Neolithic site (if you like ruins), also a fascinating bee and embroidery museum and a family-run restaurant with delicious and authentic Greek fare, all to be found at/near the village of Lefkara. We loved our stay and would thoroughly recommend this charming house if you can manage different levels (probably not ideal for the very elderly or very young).

A happy stay at Cyprus
We stayed at the house for a week with our complete family, including two boys and spouse. The layout of the house was perfect for such a stay, since it was possible two stay in 3 separate rooms. We all enjoyed the stay including the use of the pool.

Ein paradiesischer Innenhof zum Entspannen
Das Haus ist ein Traum! Wir waren mit drei erwachsenen Söhnen in diesem Anwesen, das keine Wünsche offen ließ. Viele Rückzugsmöglichkeiten für jeden von uns: Am Pool, in der Bibliothek, im Fernsehraum, am Esstisch, in der Vorhalle, auf der Dachterrasse und natürlich im ganzen Innenhof auf den verschiedenen Ebenen. Die ganze Einrichtung ist über komplet. Alles ist da und funktioniert. Der Garten im Innenhof sehr gepflegt. Der Pool sauber. Mit Leihauto keine 5 Minuten zum Strand und ein wunderschönes Kirchlein in der direkten Nachbarschaft. Ideal auch für ein Läufchen zum Morgenstart. Sehr ruhig, kein Verkehr. In Summe: Ein kleines Paradies! Costa der Hausbesorger ist sehr umsichtig und Alan der Besitzer äußerst freundlich. Ein großes Danke!!

Magnificent Maroni villa
Our stay at the Cobblers was perfect. The space combines old world charm with modern conveniences. You enter the home through a low entryway at the bottom of a stone street. Immediately, you will see the lovely landscaped garden and pool area. Our family (2 adults, 10 year old & 5 year old girls) found it so serene to spend our days under the umbrella by the pool. The master bedroom and bedroom with two single beds are located in one part of the home, separated by a full bath. A separate entrance welcomes you into the third bedroom where you will find an en-suite full bath, and a laundry closet. All bedrooms were generous in size and have air con. The entire home has air con except for the bathrooms and kitchen. While I would prefer it everywhere (I am American after all), the area has cooler temperatures in the evening making cooking or showering tolerable. Upstairs from the main entryway and kitchen is a spacious sitting room. Directly above that is my favorite part of the house, a terrace overlooking Maroni village with views of the sea. I found it to be the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset. There is also a second sitting room between the entryway and the main bedrooms. Everywhere you turn, there are places to discover in this villa and everyone felt that they had privacy and plenty of personal space. We have been to Maroni many times as my husband’s grandparents are from the village, but this trip was extra special with the accommodations!

Amazing, gorgeous and pure relaxation!
Not only is Maroni the perfect village near the sea but the Cobblers House was pure pleasure. From sitting under the ancient olive tree, a dip in the pool or on the viewing deck overlooking the sea and village! Best family vacation ever and will definitely go back and refer to others!

Safe, private environment for all the family.
The villa is exactly as described and the photos show the facilities accurately. We were a family ranging in age from 4 to 75 and we all had a great time. We were self catering and were able to find everything we needed in the villa. The local market around the corner was handy for basics like eggs milk and bread, however a more substantial shop could be done at the supermarket about 20 mins away . We ate out twice at the taverna in Maroni and in Tochni. Both venues were reasonably priced and served ample portions. Our time at the villa was great fun. The pool was used extensively and those needing shade were always able to find some. We were met by Costa, the venue manager who was easily contactable if we needed him which was seldom. The way the villa surrounds the courtyard and pool provides a safe private environment in which to relax and enjoy oneself. My family had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend.

Lovely quirky property
The Cobblers is certainly a unique holiday stay. It's very old and characterful, and all the rooms are accessed from either the external staircase or the multi-levelled courtyard. Although there are three bedrooms, it's best suited for a couple who want to chill out amongst all the peaceful quirkiness. We wouldn't recommend the house for the very tall (low doorframes), very young (many, many steps) or those with mobility issues. There's air-con throughout, although cooling breezes keep the heat at bay without wasting electricity. There are plenty of sun loungers for following the sun around the pool. The kitchen is adequately equipped and there's a pleasant dining area with windows onto the very quiet street. Our favourite part of the house was the top floor, with a TV lounge that's perfect for catching up with Netflix (bring your own Roku-type dongle) and a comfortable snug for reading. There's the usual overpriced, understocked minimarket in the village, so shopping for provisions is best done at the Alphamega hypermarket near the turn off from the A1 onto the B1. The allegedly excellent Old Coffee Shop, a street or two from The Cobblers, has closed, so village eateries are limited to Lenia's Taverna (actually in Psematismenos) and the Piazza Maroni. The latter is a huge space with plastic tables and chairs, large TVs and, horror of horrors, a children's bouncy castle, and the kitchen serves family-friendly food, with indiscriminate use of a deep-fat fryer. Lenia's is far better for couples, with warm service and authentic Cypriot dishes, but the emphasis is similarly meaty. The best local restaurant is Tochni Tavern, just a few km away, that embraces the breadth of Greek cuisine, with ample vegetarian and pescatarian options. There's also the friendly Nostos Taverna, opposite the church in Tochni, that's popular at weekends. The nearby marina of Zygi has a handful of seafood tavernas, but most were closed when we visited, and it generally seemed run down. We also ate in Kalavasos, a village close to Tochni, where the Retro Tavern and George's Tavern take over the village with their al fresco dining. The food at both is reasonable, but service is slow and vegetarian dishes are limited. Much of the time, we ate in and simply enjoyed soaking up the sun around the pool. Our criticisms are few: the directions to the house require updating, there were login issues with the TV box, and we thought basic housekeeping should be inclusive.

Nice place away from hustle and bustle
An old, renovated and partly new built house, simple, but with everything you need. For two people the place seems too big, as some rooms will hardly be used. I can imagine it would fit better to a family with kids. Costas was very helpful, communication was good throughout. Beautiful beaches are about an hours drive away, but being away from the hustle and bustle is worth it!

Beautiful sunny haven in picturesque village
From the magical moment of opening the arched door at 11pm this house won us! It has charm and ambience in abundance: the wonderful ancient olive tree and the many beautiful plants, the medieval-looking wooden balconies, and the quiet atmosphere. We found space in the house for everyone to find a quiet sunny nook, and for everyone to sit together for meals and enjoy the pool. Thank you Alan we'd love to come again.
